Capture the quiet nobility of the hunt with this exquisite Ceramic Hunting Dog, a wall-mounted sculpture by the celebrated Enza Fasano. Hand-modeled in the artisan workshops of Grottaglie, Italy, this piece is a modern reinterpretation of the classic hunting trophy, rendered in a sophisticated, deep espresso-bronze glaze that suggests the weight and permanence of cast metal.

The sculpture focuses on the elegant profile of the hound, likely a spaniel or setter, characterized by its soulful, elongated muzzle and distinctive, pendulous ears. The artist employs a masterful contrast in texture: the snout is sleek and smooth, inviting touch, while the ears are sculpted with vigorous, impasto-like strokes to mimic the rich, curly texture of the dog’s coat.

Designed specifically for wall installation, this piece projects from the surface with a lifelike presence. It serves as a striking architectural accent, perfect for adding a touch of rustic heritage to a library, entryway, or gallery wall, blending the warmth of traditional Italian ceramics with a sleek, contemporary silhouette.

Enza Fasano is a defining voice in modern Italian ceramics, hailing from a long line of artisans in the historic district of Grottaglie. Daughter of the renowned Nicola Fasano, she is known for her ability to translate the natural world into ceramic art with a distinct "philological artistry." Her work honors the tactile history of Apulian clay while introducing innovative textures and emotional depth, creating pieces that are both timeless and distinctly modern.
